PF

Dont worry we we ALL being doing it.

Is there a mail address on it.? I cant see one. We want to print out as many as possible and attend shopping centers. I dont have a lap top but I could buy one especially for this if its only electronic.
Also I want to get your survey up on OLO asap.

I am trying to figure out how we can get the survey into some news papers and letter box drops.

I am happy to pay for the letter box drops but I think we will collect them ourselves to ensure they are sent.

We can do Gold Coast Brisbane are but the others Dickie and Suzzanne Caz would have to enquire who does letter box drops in their areas.
Given the nature of this I think shopping centers are the way to go.


There is a new years party on monday with about five hundred going.

I am going to ask Mark to put it on RSPCA QLD anyway.
Hes about the best of them all .

Did you see Babe was on TV on Christmass night.?

Look I think Nicky and Dickie especially would be happy to help PF.

Perhaps If we send you a donation to be spread around you would be kind enough to be the Co-ordinator?

I would not interfear PF . We would be happy to follow your istructions.

That would pay for shopping center space and some adds.

Have you tried to put it on OLO ?

There is an area there for petitions and such. Or will I ask GY to put it up.?

I am not aware of an area to post surveys on OLO. Can you enlighten me?

There is an email link on the site pig_out@bigpond.com

There is also a link at the bottom of the page that sends out to a list of your contacts. A good way to get the message out there too.

PF
This is the are I was refering to. Which reminds me Dickie if you are reading this or Nicky- Any others you want put up we will request if its members only.
I honestly dont know.
http://petitions.nationalforum.com.au/
The thing is PF once its on the net through OLO if its promoted through UL links enough it should be circulated.

What I was asking was this- Is there no ordinary address we can send filled out survey forms to?

If we print out the forms and attend shopping centers andlots of people wish to fill them out by hand- Where do we post them to please?

As you have not answered our question about us donating some funds to promote this survey through newspapers and letter box drops I wont bother you with it anymore.

We are happy to help anyway we can.
Dickie if you are reading this page please note ideas and give us your thoughts.
We will get these out in letter boxes to our locals and asist anybody else who wishes to do likewise with some funds.
Opos I guess we ought to put our own Live Export Petition up on OLO too.
That was a bit slack of pale.

Thanks for all your efforts PF Dickie Nicky and all others
From The Animals.

Thanks for that.

If you send an email to pig_out@bigpond.com they will let you know the postal address and will send the survey to you in pdf format for easy printing.

I've posted this bit from the "Petition" section as an example. Now PF if you were prepared to word the petition appropriately, couldn't these be posted or emailed to participants for printing and distributing?

We could then go door knocking, approaching friends and into shops requesting they be displayed for customers' signatures and finally collected and returned to the free-range pig survey address that you advised.

The petition would probably need to run for some six months.

Collecting signatures and returning them would be the extent of my contribution at present. I happen to be in "no-man's land," for the time-being awaiting the long delayed settlement date (now imminent)for house purchase, an exodus to a new "land", and the commitments to boot, set to remain for some three months hence!

EXAMPLE ONLY:

"The petition of certain citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the House and Senate the fact that:

the quality of Australia's pig imports and the intensively farmed method of growing pigs for consumption in Australia has raised many issues of concern amongst the following signatories. We respectfully request that ??........................................................................................................................

I am not sure however I think PF wants to concentrate on getting the survey out.

I thought the petition was for Rudd Government re Kerry O’Brien’s pe election promises not being honored.

That said we can do both.

Here is the petition [suggestion only] for the pigs.
See what PF thinks.
She could change the words and exchange thoughts.

[Suggestion One]=Petition to Stop Intensive Farming of Pigs

[Suggestion Two]= Petition to Demand Clear Labeling Of Pork

.Products For Free Range.

To The Honorable the President and Members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The Petition of the undersigned protests in the strongest possible terms against the Intensive farming of Australian pigs.

.Lack of Laws.
``There are no fixed standards against which to measure descriptions such as `free range' and `bred free range' and, further, shoppers cannot be certain as to what they are buying.
Animals housed in large sheds and which scarcely see daylight are being sold off as Free Range due to lack of labeling laws.
`` Free-range animals should have access to pasture and shelter, and consumers demand this is the case..
We the undersigned demand that ACCC are empowered to enforce a definition of labeling.
During Intensive Farming the animals are subjected to inhumane conditions resulting in unacceptably high death rates and suffering. They suffer extreme cruelty and barbarism prior to slaughter. -
Your petitioners call upon the members of the Senate to immediately, and without delay, enfoce lear labelling to inform customers of products that are given antibotics and treated in a less humane manner than absolute fre range condition.

Dicke Here is the link to ours to use as a guide and for ideas. This is the one you can lodge to the Greens Please. All of it. Both Rounds. Just when you have time.

Lets get these surveys out first.
You ideas on that are good
. Sorry you are disadvantaged by distance. Perhaps we can help you by funding the letter box drops.

Open to ideas and Instructions.
